The facts of the weekend: Roolaart's streak, Burkhardt on fire
HGC attacker Mikki Roolaart is building a fine run, Amsterdam's women have defensive worries and it is still raining goals in the men's side. Here are the figures from last weekend.
TULP HOOFDKLASSE WOMEN
2 - Oranje-Rood is only on two goals after five rounds of play and failed to score in four of its first five matches.
3 - Kampong won 0-2 at Bloemendaal and kept its goal clean for the third time this season.
3 - Den Bosch drew 2-2 at SCHC and also failed to win its third away game of the season. The last time this happened to the team was in the 1994-1995 season (when it suffered three defeats in a row).
4 - Amsterdam's defence at Wagener Stadium is as leaky as a sieve. The team scored three goals against Tilburg (2-3) for the fourth home game in a row, an unprecedented series.
4 - HGC attacker Mikki Roolaart is the only player in this premier league season to score in the past four rounds of play (four goals in total).
10 - Once again, SCHC failed to win a home match against Den Bosch, a series that now includes ten matches (G5 L5).

11 - Amsterdam went down on their own pitch against Tilburg (2-3), losing two home games in a row for the first time in 11 years.
16 - Rotterdam won a home match against HDM (2-1) for the first time in sixteen years, something they had last managed on 1 March 2009.
19 - SCHC's 2-2 against Den Bosch in the Hoofdklasse means they are now unbeaten for nineteen games in a row (W16 G3), currently the longest running series of any team.
22 - Kampong won four of its first five games this season (D1), the best league start for the team in 22 years. In 2003-2004, the Utrechters even won their first six games of the season.
23 - Den Bosch attacker Frédérique Matla scored her 23rd official goal against SCHC on Sunday. Only against Pinoké did the goalgetter score more often (29 goals).

2 - Amsterdam striker Boris Burkhardt scored a Hoofdklasse hat-trick for the second consecutive round of play.
3 - Three players made a hat-trick during the last round of play: apart from Burkhardt, they were Dayaan Cassiem (Amsterdam) and Pepijn van der Heijden (Rotterdam).

22 - Amsterdam produced 22 goals in its first three home games of the season: 5-1 against Hurley, 8-6 against Den Bosch and 9-0 against Laren.
